You brought back a memory from 15 years ago that i will never forget. I was walking to the apartment i shared w/ some people (i was 14), and i was walking w/ my head down just sad for many reasons. I always payed attention cutting through that alley b/c it was dangerous and all of a sudden a middle aged man appeared from nowhere and asked me if i was okay. He looked homeless but i smiled and nodded keeping my guard up. He smiled at me w/ a twinkle in his eyes and said these words,"Don't you ever walk with your head down again, you are much to beautiful inside and out to hide that from the world", then he was gone....i have never forgotten him...That day i learned a lot from a stranger.
